Riordan MBA Fellows

"The Riordan MBA Fellows Program provided me the framework to attend a top MBA program. As a Fellow, I found myself surrounded with other individuals who had experienced similar obstacles within their communities. Through this we found camaraderie with one another and learned through each other's life challenges. I attribute much of my personal and professional success to being a Riordan MBA Fellow."

The Riordan MBA Fellows Program targets recent college graduates who are considering graduate education in business management. Its core purpose is to educate, prepare, and motivate these individuals to competitively apply and succeed in a top MBA program and a career in management.
